Q&A: Voter List Maintenance

Q: How do you make sure the voter rolls are current?

A: The voter registration list in Flagler County is maintained through the regular list maintenance, which is mandated by Section 98.065, Florida Statutes. Supervisors of Elections throughout the State of Florida are required to conduct these list maintenance activities on a schedule which is in accordance with the law, once during every odd-numbered year and no later than 90 days prior to a Federal election.

We conduct these list maintenance activities according to schedule and also process deceased matches regularly, along with information received which matches voter records for those persons who are ineligible for a variety of statutory reasons, which include felony convictions or those who have been adjudicated mentally incapacitated in respect to voting. These match files are processed in accordance with Section 98.075, Florida Statutes and the outlined procedures for removal.
